Edge insider Dev bypasses IE mode website list
- Oct 02, 2019
HotCakeX Just making sure I understand the issue - when you say Edge bypasses the site list, are you expecting bing.com from your list to open in IE mode? If so, you will need to set the <open-in> tag to IE11 instead of MSEdge.
Let me know if I misunderstood the problem.
here is what I suspect:
in this part:
"InternetExplorerIntegrationSiteList": {
"level": "mandatory",
"scope": "user",
"source": "platform",
"value": "\\\\SERVER-1\\share\\sites.xml"
},
the Value is "\\\\SERVER-1\\share\\sites.xml"
is it possible that the quadruple backward slashes are causing the issue?
as you can see I've correctly only put double backward slashes in the group policy:
as stated here:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/DeployEdge/edge-ie-mode#configure-sites-on-the-enterprise-site-list
"
- (Recommended) HTTPS location: https://localhost:8080/sites.xml
- Local network file: \\network\shares\sites.xml
- Local file: file:///c:/Users/<user>/Documents/sites.xml
"
I also tried the HTTPS way but still no luck
this value is set inside group policy object:
https://server-1.domain.local/sitelist/sites.xml
(replaced my actual domain name with domain.local for posting in here)
the list is accessible on both server and client and in Edge insider Dev,

Oh sorry my bad,
I thought MSEdge tag means the site will load with internet explorer compatibility mode inside Edge
and IE tag means the side will open in Internet explorer program itself outside Edge.
but obviously I was wrong.
now I see to open a website in internet explorer program itself this is the tag
<open-in app="true">IE11</open-in> and Not this <open-in>IE11</open-in>
I should have read this page more carefully:

Thanks again
